Paris air pollution so bad officials are temporarily making public transport free – link
While it’s only for three days and it’s only because of unseasonably warm weather (and it’s only March), this is a warning of what is to come. Other quotes in the article:
- reduced the maximum speed allowed on main roads
- the air is expected to remain exceptionally unhealthy
- significant risks to the health of residents
- air quality was “an emergency and a priority for the government”.
- classified outdoor air pollution as “carcinogenic to humans”
Why do we have to wait until it’s about to kill us before we will act?
